Description

In this course, Introduction to Networking for Cisco CCNA 200-125/100-105, you will examine how basic human communication, like talking in person or on the phone, contains the same fundamental concepts used in moving data across a network. First, you will learn how to examine communication, and determine how to dissect it into components so it can be individually categorized and described. Next, you will learn how to break down communication into components, which will be of great benefit when understanding data networking, as there are many simple protocols which interact in complex ways. To accomplish this you will learn the TCP/IP and OSI models of networking, encapsulation, addressing, as well as what is called "chunks of information" at different points in the communication process. Finally you'll learn about the history and the birth of high speed data communications. By the end of this course, you'll know the OSI Model, TCP/IP Model, and you'll have an understanding of what encapsulation is as it relates to data networking.

Transcript

Hi everyone, my name is Ross Bagurdes and welcome to my course Introduction to Networking for CCNA 200-125/100-105 exams. I am a Network Engineer, instructor at Madison College at madison college, and am proud to be a Pluralsight Author. Data Networking is a mysterious topic, full of strange language, concepts, and ideas, that are all interconnected in an unusual way....once we understand how to break down communication into it’s fundamental components, it becomes easier to understand. In this course, we are going to dissect how humans communicate, and introduce an organizational system to make all future understanding of data network operation easier. Some of the major topics that we will cover include: 1. Dissect human talking into fundamental components. 2. Compare those components to similar components in data networking. 3. Examine networking models used to categorize network components. 4. Briefly examine the history and the birth of high speed data communications. By the end of this course, you’ll know the OSI Model, TCP/IP Model, and have an understanding of what encapsulation is as it relates to data networking. Before beginning this course you just need a desire to learn data networking.
From here, you should feel comfortable diving into Network Layer Addressing for the CCNA 200-125/100-105. I hope you’ll join me on this journey to learn Data Networking with the Introduction to Networking for CCNA 200-125/100-105 course, at Pluralsight.
